Hiking

Vishwanath Temple was built in 1627 by King Narasimha of Patan to honour the god Shiva. The temple was heavily damaged in an earthquake in 1988 which resulted in the loss of the temple's original roof. After the April 2015 earthquake Vishwanath Temple was largely intact, though it was temporarily retrofitted with bracing on several sides while minor repairs took place.

The Garuda statue, in a kneeling position, is on top of a pillar in front of the Krishna Mandir Temple. It was erected by Siddhi Narasingh Malla in 1647 - about ten years after construction of the temple.

Char Narayan, also called the Jagat Narayan, is perhaps the oldest temple in Patan's Darbar Square. Unlike other temples in the square, it is constructed primarily of brick. It was built in 1566 to memorialize the father of Purandar Singh, a nobleman who controlled the Kathmandu area in the late 16th century. It honours Narayan, another name for Vishnu.
The temple was completely levelled because of the April 2015 earthquake. Char Narayan Temple was completely restored as of January 2020
